The mother of Milton Hall, a homeless Saginaw man shot and killed by Saginaw police officers in 2012, has settled her federal wrongful death lawsuit against the city and nine police officers, her attorneys say.

Jewel Hall on Friday, March 14, settled her case in U.S. District Court in Bay City, according to a press release sent from Hall's Detroit attorneys.

Three men charged in an armed robbery at the Funky Skunk store in Frankenmuth remain jailed pending a court hearing at the end of the month.

Trevor D. Fortenberry, Cody R. Ray, and Thomas L. Sells appeared before a judge Monday, March 17, for arraignment on multiple felony charges in connection with the March 12 incident in the River Place Plaza that houses the store.

The Saginaw School District spent nearly $3 million on a school it will close next year.

Houghton Elementary School received $2.9 million in improvements in 2010, part of the third phase of improvements that taxpayers funded with a $70 million bond issue voters approved in 2004. Houghton, 1604 Johnson, will close at the end of the 2013-2014 school year.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan is urging the Department of Justice to reconsider its decision to not prosecute Saginaw police officers involved in the shooting death of Milton Hall.

On Feb. 25, the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan and the FBI announced in a joint decision that the Saginaw police officers who shot and killed Hall, a homeless Saginaw resident, during a confrontation in a shopping plaza parking lot would not face federal charges.
